I have the radio mounted in a jeep w/102" s/s whip w/ball mount. Antenna is grounded thru the coax and a extra strap to the body. Signal strength is two bars on channels 1 & 40 (radio SWR meter). Have not been able to locate a stand alone SWR meter as of yet. Radio tx and rx up to 2 miles w/clarity. But w/ I do tx, the tx and rx lights come on when I key the mike. Do not want to burn out my new radio since I replaced my old Cobra 29 classic and that radio checked out during it's lifetime of 24 yrs. Thanks in advance!!
